Some fun mail

The weather outside is frightful to say the least , we had over 40 cm. of snow over the weekend and today we are getting a further 40cm. with winds gusting to 80 km. and hour , how is that for dreadful just a couple of days away from the official date for Spring .
                                
It won't be long before we can't see out this at all , pretty close now .
All bad things aside I did receive some yummy mail lately , first was this wonderful package from Annette of In Stitches and Seams  , I was the lucky winner of her blogaversary giveaway .
It was like Christmas with so many great gifts , some really beautiful charm squares in just the colours I love , that dandy cloth tote , scissors and measuring tape , a double ended needle threader and some chopsticks that will be perfect for turning out those corners or stuffing something . Oh there is also some very yummy tea , cinnamon flavored it smells divine and tastes wonderful too :-) Thanks so much Annette for making my day .
 Yesterday a little package arrived from Vicki Welsh , I had been randomly picked as a follower of her newsletter to win a FQ of her gorgeous handdyed fabric . If you are not familiar with Vicki you should take some time to check her out here . Thanks so much Vicki .
Vicki also included a little notepad . I am not sure just yet where this fabric will be used but it sure is interesting .
 On the sewing front , not a lot happening , I have been preparing my charming stars quilt for machine quilting and did get a couple of seams done but not enough to share . I also made and sent off my postcards , which reminds me we are getting very close to the date all postcards in the exchange should be mailed out , March 23 which is Monday . I hope everyone is making progess in that area . Once your postcards arrive please post a picture on your blog as well as on the flicker page, can someone tell me how I can put that link on my sidebar,I have no clue how to do that . I am not computer savvy for sure . For now here is the link  https://www.flickr.com/groups/2785330@N22/
 I have been doing a little secret sewing too but can't share that for obvious reasons , someday I will share but not for a while . One of those projects is for our guild challenge which this year involves our birthday , I had fun choosing a design for this one , I was a little lost in the beginning but am quite pleased with what I have come up with , you won't see that one until May .
 Well I must go enjoy the storm , watch those snowflakes fall from the sky and make things lovely and white AGAIN .  Hey before you know it I will be complaining about the heat , not this year I won't lol!!
 Have a super day and thanks for stopping by and if you happen to be having wonderful sunny and warm weather do you thing you could spare just a little for us , I would be forever grateful .
 hugs Sheila

    Aqui, na minha região, o verão já perdeu sua intensidade, graças a Deus! As temperaturas estão amenas e chove um pouco. A chuva é muito benvinda!
    Você ganhou presentes apetitosos.
    Um abraço!

    Wow, how much snow! Looking I want to skip it. :)))
    Here, in my region, the summer has lost its intensity, thank God! Temperatures are mild and it rains a little. The rain is very welcome!

  11. Very nice things in your mail. I'm interested to see your guild project. We've had sun here, but the wind gusts are so strong that advisories went out. I wouldn't want to be on a fishing boat, that's for sure. Stay safe.
